Living and Dying In Hawaii

Moon Ja Kim for six years your location was unknown
as you lay on a coastline trail all alone.
Til one day the place you lay became known
when two hikers found your bones.

They say Moon left a note of suicide.
Still we don't know how or why she died.
An investigation is still in place
so family and friends can know her fate.

Somewhere she must be dearly missed
by a family now doomed to know distress.
So sad her life would end this way
on a lonely trail on that day.

Almost seven years have passed and still
her family doesn't know she died.
I hope and pray they can be found
because her loved one's need a chance to cry.

I did not know Moon Ja Kim
but I mourn for her.  She was
a Korean woman that lived and
died in Hawaii and no relative
has claimed her remains.
I hope and pray this mystery
will be solved soon.

This is so sad!  One wonders why no one has inquired about her, or maybe they didn't even know where she was?  No one should be that alone. Hope some answers can be found. It is kind of you to write this for her.
